@Thrivin096 @upzonenj Plus the PA Turnpike is notoriously expensive

[Ian @ILvov37]

@BradenMTG @upzonenj Historically there were trains to both. There��s a recentish proposal to revive an Allentown to NYC connection via the Raritan Valley Line. But without full electrification, Hunter Flyover and operational reforms the cost, $2+ Billion, makes it prohibitive

[Ian @ILvov37]

@imbzrightnow @BetterBlocksNJ The City’s budget includes one time payments related to prior years’ healthcare expenditures. So it ‘should be’ lower next year

@DanLevin_inJC And if they really wanted to they could just subpoena John Metro and others to ask departmental operation questions. Instead we get grandstanding

[Ian @ILvov37]

@DanLevin_inJC That’s what’s so annoying about the discourse. Ridley, Gilmore and Solomon were on the council the last four years when these issues emerged. This year’s audit is in-line with prior years’ as well so none of it’s a surprise.

@eaconner @Indiecom2 @Tiffanie_Fisher Doing the Lord’s work looking into all those citations

[Ian @ILvov37]

@Tiffanie_Fisher @eaconner Thank you. Is there a source or data set available? I’d really like to look into the original documentation

[Ian @ILvov37]

@Tiffanie_Fisher @eaconner Where did you get the 6000/750 unit count from? Prior to 2017 Hoboken permitted a good amount of housing but it has plummeted since then. And not all approved permits become housing

Please take a moment to complete the BRT feasibility study if you live, work or just love to visit Hudson County, NJ!

Are people familiar with the concept of Socialists in Office, and their whole co-governing model? It's wild. https://t.co/zhzxMX5bek

@KhyberSen @3_under_scores_ Maybe take over the route of the Light Rail to Bergenline and North Bergen. Redevelop the now former train yard and reconnect Hoboken and JC’s street grid.

[Ian @ILvov37]

@KhyberSen @3_under_scores_ However, my dream is that the entire Hoboken section of transit is revised. Tunnel the NJ Transit commuter rail and send to lower Manhattan. Reroute the PATH and instead of the 90 degree turn send north up Garden Street.

[Ian @ILvov37]

@Colin_d_m The 7 to Hoboken/Secaucus is a great project that would solve several problems at once: reduced burden on the PATH, diverting bus ridership to rapid transit, better access to Midtown/Grand Central etc

[Ian @ILvov37]

@Colin_d_m There were legitimate reasons to oppose the ARC plan as it was at the time. It was a pale imitation of the original proposals. It would have been as expensive and poorly designed as LIRR’s East Side Access. There are better ways to add through running https://t.co/IhY8AQDhoF

@eaconner 100%. I think that 177 Grand was only approved in 2023 after years of effort and it’s only started to be developed this year https://t.co/cPOMgpyFbX. There are other sites that ultimately result in nothing
